".N NOTES.
It has leaked out that at the long exec.
utivo session on Wednesday, the special
committee, appointed to consider and re.
port as to the e1pediency OF publishing
tho testimony taken by the committee
which investigated the conduct OF the al.
tsirs OF the State Insane Asylum, recon-.
mended that the evidence should not be
printed for general distribution, as much
Of 1t was Of character unfit for general
reading, and calculated to do injury to the
public morals. After q little discussion
tho recommendation was adopted.
When ths appropriation for keeping
lunatics in jails was under consideration
In the House Mr.. Yeager moved to reduce
1t from $40. 900 to $4,000. Mr.. Toler op-
posed this. He said: ut seems to be- the
idea here that the lunatics Of the State
can be robbed all the timo, because they
can't take care OF their interests. think
that there's wrong. Don't let's rob the in
sane. live must rob anybody let's rob a
bank" d" fi

prlatlon was not cut down.

Charles Francis Adnms' Appeal on Beha
OF the Union pucilic..

onA1iee eHf"ncAs Auh"s Appenl on Benalf
Of the Union pncilic..
WASHINGTON, D. G., April ga long
petition signed by Charles Francis Adams,
President of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company, was fled in the office OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission to-day,
1t asks that his road be relieved from the
operation OF tho fourth section Of the
Interstate law aa has already been done
in cases Of other trans-ccntineutal lines,
Tho petition sets forth that its through
transportation is conducted under condi.
lions diasimilar from those sur.
rounding its local business is
being done, the former being
subject to competition with the Ca.
madam Pacific Railroad, the Pacific Mail
Steamship line tramp steamers and clipper
ships, all of which are beyond the control
OF the commission in making rates. The
petition goes on to cay that with its
through tariff based on the operation OF
the long and ehort haul clause, the com
pany would lose all or near all Of it's
through business, which would 20 to the
competitors mentioned, and that this re-.
suit is inevitable under the law. A tariff
based on this suppoaition has been in ei.
feet since the law became operative with
the result that the through business OF the
road has been reduced by at least 90 por
cent, leaving, i'll fact, very little OF it to be
done.
On tho other hand it is asserted il a
through rate we're made on such basis
aB is required to secure the substantial
part Of the business, and local rates regu-
lated on this came basis as required by the
fourth section, the whole earnings OF the
road would not pay its fixed charges. Be-
lieving that the conditions are such as to
justify it in making discriminating tariffs
as between short and long hauls, yet the
penalties Of the Law are SO severe that the
petitioner fears to act on his own judg.
ment, and asks the official sanction OF the
Commission thereto by suspension Of
the fourth section Of the law. 5s

Everybody knows that tin cans are
